Children's
children are the crown of old
men, And the glory of children is their
father.
( Proverbs 17:6 NKJV )
I received the following message from, one of our Dear
Brothers-in-Christ. It's Subject is: Children. Now I hope that
you will enjoy the following.....
-------------------------------------
To those of us who have children in our lives, whether they are
our own, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or students... here is
something to make you chuckle.
Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort
from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to
His own children.
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve.
And the first thing he said was "DON'T!"
"Don't what?" Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said.
"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit?
Hey Eve. we have forbidden fruit!"
"No Way!"
"Yes way!"
"Do NOT eat the fruit! " said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so! " God replied, wondering
why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.
A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break
and He was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit? " God asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you? " said the Father.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"She started it! " Adam said.
"Did not! "
"Did too! "
"DID NOT! "
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that
Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern
was set and it has never changed.
BUT THERE IS REASSURANCE IN THE STORY!
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom
and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. After all,
if God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would
be a piece of cake for you ?
